Thanks argyllgran, that's a really good idea about her taking the name. I wondered if she was an illegitimate child aswell. I have found a census of 1881 for the workhouse, so just before Elsie was supposed to be born. So I'm going to see if any of the women match the list of his servants you mentioned.... Long shot, but according to my aunt, she never wanted to talk about her life, so something along these lines may be the right corner to turn. I do know that she wasn't a Barnados child now though. Maybe she will just forever be an illusive lady! Thank you all for your help and ideas! |

Thanks Chris! Another angle to check, that's great! Could check her age and see if she had a child, but also maybe if she had a brother called Henry and she looked after the child perhaps? Thank you, this is bringing up some great ideas and 'leads' where I was running on empty! Seeing the forest rather than just the trees. Fingers crossed there is a way out of this forest! |

Chris, the Frances b Pelham from Wandsworth, seems to gave died in 1900 when she was 35 ish, and no joy so far on her birth or her giving birth...I'll have to fig deeper and see if maybe she was Elsie's mum or at least to rule her out. Thanks again! |
